i'm guessing a marketing guy was given a dare. "make 'this coffee tastes like elephant shit' into a compliment".
now someone owes him five bucks.
DO NOT WANT!
First weasel shit coffee, then elephant shit coffee.
People are fucking weird.
but...but...but...
WHY
They should call it Junk from the Trunk, though, since it is an elephant, that might be confusing.
I have totally eaten things for the purposes of having a funny story to tell later, but WHAT. NO. That is not food!
THEY HAD ME AT "Think of the elephant as the animal kingdom's equivalent of a slow cooker" BUT REALLY SOLD IT WITH "As far as we can tell there is definitely no harm to the elephants."
their urine could be sold as Elephant Bull Energy Drink.
I was reassured that this is a great product and a wonderful idea for those poor elephants on that nature reserve because they tested it on zoo elephants first. That shows they really care about the animals and want to work with them, not just take shameless advantage of the creatures.
I wonder who the hell was the first to think "Fuck, that elephant ate all our coffee beans. Guess I should follow it around and see if there's any salvageable in it's poop"
And then who was the first poor soul to drink it.
Someone who ran out of Jenkem?

Well... coffee IS pretty addictive.
Aaaaaaand I'm done. Warning: Poe's Law ahead.
I'm a home roaster and I'm noticing in the newpapers that animal poop coffee is really popular and expensive. I've been growing yellow bourbon arabica in my greenhouse for a couple of years and it's finally starting to produce quality cherry. I will personally ingest this cherry and mimic the "kopi luwak" process. I will roast this coffee so that it's ready to brew, in time for the holidays. I will be able to harvest only a couple of pounds of this special kind of coffee so act now before it's too late.
I'm 47, healthy, and will guarantee you'll like my kopi luwak style coffees. Fecal specimens available for inspection upon request. (http://jezebel.com/5967769/someone-from-portland-wants-to-sell-you-shit-from-their-butt-and-then-you-can-drink-it)
